Weather and export news remain the
motives for up and down movement of
gram and soybean bids Wheat 2 to 9
cents lower Corn 1 cent higher Sorghum
2 cents higher Soybeans 3 to 4 cents
lower Wheat bids were moderately lower
after learning that Egypt bought French
origin wheat instead of US wheat A
warming trend has been forecast tor
much ot the winter wheat growing areas
over the next tew days This is negative
news for wheat now, until another cold
snap returns and threatens the vulnerable
crop again Corn bids moved slightly
higher due to technical buying on the
Board Overnight export purchase by
South Korea was also positive to corn
bids. Moisture over the past couple of
days, however, limited gains Soybean
Bids continued to lose ground as talks of
Chinese cancellations and lack of fresh
export news drove bids lower.
